"Going to bid on Darksiders IP. Put 7 years of heart and soul into that franchise, and I think it belongs at home with its creators," Adams tweeted.

Vigil Games co-founder Ryan Stefanelli later confirmed to Destructoid that Crytek plans to bid on Darksiders.

"When the Darksiders IP goes up for auction, Crytek will be bidding for it. Not much more to say since the rest is left up to courts and legal shenanigans, but we're all excited at the prospect," he said.

After THQ went bankrupt and Vigil Games was dissolved, Crytek approached the studio and reunited much of the development team under the new name Crytek USA.
